CityBeat's Best of Cincinnati 2008 "Best Retail Promotion" is back. Shop local-only for one day, and help your economy, community, and neighbors. 

Every dollar you spend at a locally-owned business generates  approximately three times more economic activity than a dollar spent at  the typical "big-box." By choosing to shop locally-owned for just one day, we can help to improve Cincinnati's economy. 

On November 22nd, many of Greater Cincinnati's locally-owned stores will offer specials for Cincinnati Unchained. To help encourage Unchained shoppers, participating stores are offering discounts or donating a portion of the day's profits to charity. Stores and specials are listed here (keep checking back, stores and specials are being updated frequently):
